About bad celebrities

Netflix recommend me the movie The ninth gate, directed by Roman Polanski (starring Johnny Depp, Lena Olin, etc, not important). So what’s that phrase I keep reading: “cancel culture”. Now I also remember that dad thought The fearless vampire killers (same director) was one of the funnies movies he seen growing up. I don’t think he knows about Polanski, and that guys story. Dad isn’t interested in international celebrities or their life, in this case their crimes. Ok, maybe it's silly but I would not like to tell dad that one of his favorite movie was made by a convicted child rapist. You know how I mean.

Nor did I know about Polanski when I saw The ninth gate. I did worked with used books when I saw it. That made the movie more interesting, but well, that’s not important.

Ugh, I had no idea that Polanski was such a sleaze ball. I don't really follow any news or tabloids and always end up shocked when I find out about those type of things. :/
